  • Birendra Krishna Bhadra was a spiritual poet widely remembered for his super-natural and magically wonderful recital of Mahishashura Mardini, a collection of shlokas and songs broadcast by All India Radio Calcutta in the dawn of Mahalaya. He was an alumnus of the well-known Scottish Church College in Kolkata. An important festival in the calendar of a Bengali Hindu is Durga Puja. Durga Puja lies within Devi Paksha (fortnight of Goddess), a particular fortnight of Bengali calendar when the Durga Puja is scheduled. The first day of the Devi Paksha is Mahalaya. In the 1930s All India Radio used to broadcast a program called Mahishashura Mardini which describes the epic battle of goddess Durga with the demon king Mahishashura.

The enchanting rendition by Birendra Krishna Bhadra was the stand out aspect of the recital. In 1970s, the programme became a recorded one. It has been decades since then, but even today Durga Puja opens with the same enthralling recital by Birendra Krishna Bhadra. Bhadra wrote some plays including Mess No. 49.
